Strum
D-DU-UDU
She  looks down on those who do not  look up to her
 she's a head  above them all although she'll never  be as tall
 And everybody  loves her they think  that she is swell
 But the one  true problem is that she knows  it all too well
Carve  out your future no  one else will do  it for you (x2)
I  know that it's a hard  thing to  choose,  but  I think it's pretty clear that
 I've got nothing to  lose
Take  life by the handlebars and shake  shake shake
 It is nowhere  you will go if it's not progress  that you make
I  know that it's a hard  thing to  choose,  but  I think it's pretty clear that
 I've got nothing to  lose
 He's feeling pretty confident he thinks his future's made
 But all of a sudden the adoration could fade
 Now he begs the world to like him, and pretend he likes himself
 but he's wasted all his years and now he's sitting on the shelf
 I can try to avoid it I can push it in the shade
 But whether I like it or not there are decisions to be made
 I'm really scared a little bridge is all that I will be
 They'll tell me I'll be big and then they'll walk all over me
 Carve out your future no one else will do it for you (x2)
 I know that it's a hard thing to choose, but I think it's pretty clear that I've got
 nothing to lose
 Take life by the handlebars and shake shake shake
 It is nowhere you will go if it's not progress that you make
 I know that it's a hard thing to choose, but I think it's pretty clear that I've got
 nothing to lose now
Can  I be sure  that I've got nothing  to lose
Can  I be sure  that I won't end  up bruised
 Take life by the handlebars
 Take life by the handlebars and shake shake shake
 It is nowhere you will go if it's not progress that you make
 I know that it's a hard thing to choose, but I think it's pretty clear that I've got
 nothing to lose now
